Three of the six officers involved in the police in-custody death of Freddie Gray have been suspended, pending termination, law enforcement sources tell WBAL-TV.

Lt. Brian Rice, Sgt. Alicia White and Officer Caesar Goodson were notified last week of the administrative charges against them.

Officers Garrett Miller and Edward Nero face loss of some days of pay, sources said. Officer William Porter faces no punishment, sources said.

The five facing administrative violations can challenge the findings of the internal investigation by requesting a disciplinary trial board. Such a proceeding would be months away, but under a new state law, would be public.

Baltimore police media Chief T.J. Smith on May 12 said the Baltimore Police Department received the administrative investigation of the six officers from the Montgomery County Police Department. At that time, Smith said that BPD would be reviewing the case, but did not disclose any further details.

Gray sustained a spinal injury in a van ride -- driven by Goodson -- after he was taken into police custody on April 12, 2015, by Nero and Miller. Gray died on April 19, 2015. The Baltimore riots took place on April 25, 2015, and reignited on April 27, 2015, following Gray's funeral.

In the meantime, Baltimore City State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby released the following statement Monday afternoon:

"Justice is always worth the price paid for its pursuit. This case has always been about providing justice for an innocent 25-year-old man who was unreasonably taken into police custody, severely injured while in police custody, and died due to a lack of care. If today's news is accurate, I am relieved to know that a majority of those involved will be held administratively accountable for their actions. And, while nothing can bring back Freddie Carlos Gray, Jr., I pray that today's announcement brings some closure to his loved ones, the City of Baltimore, and the dedicated members of the Baltimore Police Department."
